I started investing in 2010 with zero edge and maximum overconfidence. I chased tips from WhatsApp groups. I bet on charts without understanding the business behind them. I got emotional — held losers too long, sold winners too early. I lost money in ways that still sting.
But I kept going. Because the alternative — handing my money to someone who cared less about it than I did — was worse. Over 15 years, through every cycle, every crash, every rally, I built a system. Not a formula. A way of thinking.
Parallel to my investing journey, I spent 11 years in global FinTech — working across Private Credit and Private Equity with funds in the US, UK, and Europe. I've seen how institutional money thinks. I'm 5x Microsoft Certified, and along the way I taught data engineering and SQL to 30K+ students on leading e-learning platforms.
And yes, I'm an ultramarathoner. Not because it's a talking point — because investing IS an endurance sport. The people who win are the ones who are still here in year 10, year 15, year 20. Discipline compounds. Patience compounds. Everything else is noise.
